Research progress on exercise intervention for sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a group of syndromes characterized by age-related declines in skeletal muscle mass,strength,and func-tion,which leads to a series of adverse outcomes such as falls,frailty,disability,and even death in the elderly.It also poses a signifi-cant burden on healthcare systems.Currently,there is no specific medication for sarcopenia,and exercise intervention is mainly used for its prevention and treatment.In this article,we reviewed the pathophysiological mechanism of exercise intervention and the recom-mendations for forms,intensity,and frequency of exercise for the elderly with sarcopenia in order to provide guidance for its prevention and treatment in clinical practice.
